Sashimi Shinsengumi
📋 Information
Located in Crows Nest, Sydney, Sashimi Shinsengumi is a renowned Japanese restaurant famous for its omakase sushi experience built on incredibly fresh ingredients. While it operates as a sashimi shop during the day, it transforms into an omakase specialist in the evening, serving a curated sushi course featuring the finest catch of the day.
Since opening its doors before September 2015, Sashimi Shinsengumi quickly became a local sensation among Sydney foodies. By 2016, bookings were filled two months in advance, and in 2017, an entire month's worth of reservations sold out in just 70 minutes. This popularity is a testament to the exceptional skill of Chef Shinji Matsui.
Chef Matsui hand-picks fresh seafood from the fish market every single day. Running the restaurant alongside his wife, Tomoko Matsui, he offers guests a front-row seat to the delicate process of crafting each piece of sushi. The restaurant is best known for offering fine-dining quality sushi at an accessible price point within a casual, welcoming atmosphere.
✍️ Editor's Review
This is the sushi bar of a famous Sydney sushi master. While they were once known for offering high-end omakase at a relatively affordable price, they have shifted to a takeaway-only model since the pandemic.
You can still experience world-class sushi defined by fresh ingredients, precise knife work, and delicate, swift technique.
For a romantic meal, we recommend picking up a sushi platter and heading to a nearby park with a view of the harbour.
